Mango Chia Breakfast Smoothie
Start your mornings with a refreshing Mango Chia Breakfast Smoothie, packed with creamy Greek yogurt, sweet mango, and nutritious chia seeds.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Ripe Mango (fresh or frozen) Fresh mango is juicy; if unavailable, frozen works too.
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds (soaked) Soaking improves texture and digestibility.
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt (can substitute with plant-based yogurt) Adds creaminess and protein.
- 1 cup Almond Milk (unsweetened) Use for a lighter smoothie.
- 1 tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup Adjust sweetness to taste.
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice Adds a tangy flavor.
- 1 cup Spinach or Kale (optional) Optional for extra nutrients.
- 1 scoop Protein Powder (optional) Optional for additional protein.
Instructions
Preparation
- Soak the chia seeds in at least 3 tablespoons of water for about 15-30 minutes until they form a gel-like texture.
- In a blender, combine the soaked chia seeds, ripe mango, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey or maple syrup, lime juice, and optional greens.
- Blend everything on high until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds to a minute.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup, and adjust thickness with more almond milk if needed.
- Serve immediately, pouring the smoothie into your favorite glass or bowl.
- Garnish with additional chia seeds, mango slices, or a sprig of mint if desired.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours, or freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight or blend with ice to remix.
